Hot Wheels is a brand name used for many of Mattel's die-cast toys and was first used in 1968.

Mattel, one of the world's largest toy makers, announced in 2008 that it had acquired a license to produce merchandise based on the Star Trek franchise. Including repaints, a total of fifteen die-cast metal and plastic Star Trek starship models have been released under the Hot Wheels brand. Each ship is said to be in 1:50 scale (in reference to collector automobile scales), measures from ten to seventeen centimeters in length, and is packaged with an adjustable plastic stand.

Notes Edit

When first released, the packaging for the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (refit) was mistakenly printed as USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. Hot Wheels rectified this by removing the printed "-A" on later Series 1 packaging and printed "refit" instead.
The USS Enterprise (alternate reality) prototype was mistakenly produced with red bussard collectors which caused a four month release delay for the first production version of the ship. The color was corrected to blue before production began.
